Preparation

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook for 1 minute, then add the broccoli and cook for an additional minute. Remove from the skillet and set aside. Add 1 additional tablespoon of butter to the skillet and allow it to melt. Add the zucchini, squash, and mushrooms, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until vegetables are starting to soften. Remove from the skillet and add to the other vegetables. Set aside.

Add the onions and garlic to the skillet and cook for 2 minutes, or until starting to turn translucent. Pour in chicken broth and stir, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen all the flavorful bits. Cook the liquid for 3 to 4 minutes, allowing it to reduce by about half. Stir in the cream and Parmesan and allow cheese to melt. Add black pepper to taste. Add all the vegetables to the sauce, then add the frozen peas, diced ham and chopped basil. Stir to combine everything. If the sauce needs a little more liquid, splash in a small amount of broth as needed.

Place cooked pasta in a large serving bowl and toss with remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Pour all the contents of the skillet over the pasta and toss to combine. Sprinkle with extra chopped basil and serve with extra Parmesan!

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350oF. Butter three round 8-inch cake pans, line the bottoms with parchment, then butter the parchment. Flour the pans; set aside.

With an electric mixer, cream together the butter and oil until fully blended. Add in the sugar, strawberry gelatin and baking powder. Beat several minutes on medium speed until combined and fluffy.

Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Scrape down the bottom and sides of the bowl as needed.

In a large measuring cup, combine the strawberry purée, milk and vanilla.

Add in the flour in three additions, alternating with the liquid mixture. Begin and end with the flour, adding the salt with the last addition. Beat just until incorporated.

Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans, smoothing the tops with an offset spatula.

Bake the cakes for 25-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, or with a few loose crumbs.

Cool in the pans on a cooling rack for 10 minutes. Remove the cakes from the pans, peel off the parchment paper, and then set right-side up on the cooling rack to cool completely.

For the frosting, place the egg whites and sugar in a bowl of a stand mixer. Place the bowl over a pan of simmering water, not touching the water. Whisk constantly until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a temperature of approximately 160F.

Immediately place the bowl on the stand mixer and whip on high using the whisk attachment until the frosting has become thick and glossy, forming a stiff peak. Continue to whip the frosting until the bowl feels room temperature to the touch or a total of about 10 minutes.

Switch the whisk attachment to the paddle attachment. With the mixer on low, drop in the butter, one tablespoon at a time, beating until smooth after each addition. If the frosting appears curdled or clumpy at any time, increase the speed to medium-high and beat until smooth.

Once all of the butter has been incorporated, mix in the amaretto and pinch of salt.

To assemble, spread about 2/3 cup frosting in between each layer of cake. Use the remainder to cover the sides and top of the cake with an offset spatula.

Preparation

Preheat oven to 400o F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet and set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Quickly cut in the butter, using your hands, two knives, or a pastry blender. Mix until mixture resembles coarse meal, with a few larger butter lumps. Pour almond extract and 1 cup of the heavy cream over the ingredients and stir with a spatula until dough begins to form. Don't over mix. Gently fold in sliced almonds and raspberries. The raspberries will get a little smashed, but that is ok. The scones will still be pretty.

Transfer dough to a floured countertop and knead dough by hand just until it forms a ball. Form scones by patting the dough into a 3/4-inch thick circle. Cut the scones into even triangles. We got 8 scones.

Place scones on prepared baking sheet. Using a pastry brush, brush scones lightly with the additional heavy cream. Bake scones for 15-18 minutes, or until scones are light brown. Cool scones on a wire cooling rack.

While the scones are cooling, make the almond glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together powdered sugar, heavy cream or milk and almond extract. Whisk until you reach desired consistency. Drizzle glaze over the scones. Top with additional sliced almonds. Serve!

Spread butter with canola oil on the warm scones, if desired.

Scones will keep in an air-tight container for up to 2 days, but they really are best eaten the day they are made.

In a highly-anticipated speech to Congress Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu argued that a potential nuclear deal being negotiated by major powers including the United States "paves Iran's path to the bomb."
